Your disengaged stare does something inside me
It ignites me
My soul composed of the woes,
Things I had to go through
You’d never walk in my shoes
So I stare back.
I have so much more to say but you stand in my way
I break free from the chains that you used to bind me, to blind me, to tether me to you in the name of love
Or pity.
The words that you use to aggrandize yourself and mask the abuse
They no longer fill me.
Fear me.
I’m taking a hiatus from those driving forces
Stepping away from the hurt that I felt through the course
of many years.
I’ve bled, I wept and put a price in my womb
I feared no one would hear me
But then It came from above and I rose from within
Planted seeds in my wounds
And let “Her” light in
